Installing Virtual Box on Ubuntu 7.10

Asked by Celeste Nicole

I would like to be able to run Windows separately on my Dell laptop with Ubuntu 7.10. Can you please tell me which version of virtualbox I can install, because Gutsy is not listed as an option on their download page. Alternatively, can you please tell me what other program I can use to run both OS. Thank you.

Gutsy has reached its end of life (EOL) and so is not supported. You should upgrade to at least Hardy:
